Oxford  professor Sir Roger Penrose, who has previously worked with professor Stephen Hawking, created this chess puzzle to test whether quantum theory can explain human consciousness<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mol-factbox-title\">WHAT IS QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The theory of quantum consciousness is a controversial one and has been criticised for lacking evidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sir Roger Penrose suggests that the brain works like a quantum computer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A quantum computer is a computational machine that works through\u00a0quantum mechanical phenomena &#8211; for example, the ability of a particle to be in two places at once &#8211; to perform complex calculations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">His idea is based on an interpretation of a mathematical theory which states that some calculations or &#8216;results&#8217; cannot be proven by a computer algorithm &#8211; such as the chess problem he has created.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">So if human brains are capable of proving these &#8216;unprovable&#8217; results, then human brains cannot be described as typical computers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Instead Sir Roger says that the brain&#8217;s processes must rely, on some level, on quantum mechanical phenomena.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He suggests that in the brain, fibres known as microtubules in neurons could form the basic units of quantum computation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Electrons in these fibres could become &#8216;quantum entangled&#8217;, a state in which both particles retain a connection and affect one another even when they are a separated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The idea appeals because neurologists have yet to explain human consciousness through the biology of the brain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sir Roger hopes that scanning the brain waves of those who excel at his chess puzzle will help him find the source of human consciousness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If successful, it could prove for the first time that the human brain does not simply work like a massive supercomputer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The team hope to scan the brains of those with the quickest responses, or whose brain show signs of creative &#8216;eureka&#8217; moments, to test a controversial theory on human consciousness.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels link-bogr1 linkro-ccox\">\n<li>\n<p>          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/03\/13\/14\/047F082E000003E8-0-image-m-38_1489416777615.jpg\" width=\"62\" height=\"60\" \/><span>Alcohol may help you recall events more CLEARLY, claim&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/03\/14\/01\/3E3C065700000578-0-image-a-43_1489456114795.jpg\" width=\"62\" height=\"60\" \/><span>The joy of nettles!

did they feel a flash of insight, or leave the puzzle and come back to it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The first person to complete the puzzle legally within the rules will get a bonus prize.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The scientists invite people to email their solutions to mailpuzzle@penroseinstitute.com<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The solution will be announced tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">One of its key goals is to study the difference between human and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A popular theory on human intelligence is that it works like a super computer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But Penrose&#8217;s chess puzzle could prove that the human brain also exhibits quantum effects, and so can never be matched by AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This theory is controversial, and many experts believe quantum brain activity to be impossible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Penrose scientists hope that by studying the brains of those who crack the chess puzzle, they can pinpoint the brain waves that trigger human &#8216;insight&#8217; or &#8216;intuition&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;If you put this puzzle into a chess computer it just assumes a black win because of the number of pieces and positions, but a human will look at this and know quickly that is not the case,&#8217; Sir Roger told The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;We know that there are things that the human mind achieves that even the most powerful supercomputer cannot but we don&#8217;t know why.<\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-e5ebe43dbf5802fe\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"474\" width=\"634\" alt=\"The puzzle was created by Sir Roger Penrose, pictured here receiving an Order of Merit for science from the Queen in 2000.

People get very depressed when they think of a future where robots or computers will take their jobs, but it might be that there are areas where computers will never be better than us, such as creativity.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The new chess puzzle is one of several that will be released by the institute to gather volunteers for their research into human creativity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">James Tagg, inventor of the LCD touch screen who will lead the Institute, said: &#8216;We are interested in seeing how the Eureka moments happen in people&#8217;s brains.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;For me it is an actual flash of light but it will be different for others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;This chess position is designed to show the difference between artificial intelligence (AI) and human intelligence (HI) and the nature of human understanding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;A human looking at it for a short while will &#8216;see&#8217; what white must, and more particularly, must not do, and use very little energy to decide this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;But, for a computer, the puzzle requires an enormous number of calculations, far too many for even today&#8217;s supercomputers.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>            <!-- ad: http:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v2\/us\/sciencetech\/none\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bigLinks sc-icns cleared\">\n<li class=\"share-facebook\">\n<p>                                    <span class=\"wai\">e-mail<\/span><br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"share-icons\" id=\"shareLinkBottom\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"social-stats social-stats-pipe\" id=\"shareCountBottom\">\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"addCommentButton\" class=\"add-comment\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>            <!-- NOTE: WARNING: render-partial is a function --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels\">\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/03\/14\/00\/3E3E265B00000578-0-image-a-82_1489452565615.jpg\" alt=\"Prince William was pictured giving a high five to Austrlian model Sophie Taylor, 24, (pictured) during at boozy lunch on his ski trip to Switzerland\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Prince William parties on the slopes with Aussie model on&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/03\/14\/07\/3E3FB87D00000578-0-image-m-23_1489476752090.jpg\" alt=\"Nicola Sturgeon (pictured) is hell-bent on becoming the first Prime Minister of an independent Scotland - but Theresa May is today poised to emphatically reject Nicola Sturgeon\u2019s timetable\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Hands off our Brexit, Nicola!
